Default ceramic sink knockout

I've just received a ceramic sink, Belfast 200 from Carron phoenix and I am
informed that I need to open a hole in the centre to allow a tap to be
fitted. The area that the tap is located is pre prepared underneath for
cutting through the ceramic surface. However, I'm not sure how to actually
cut through the pre- prepared area in order to fit the tap. It appears to be
scored underneath.
Does anyone have any experience in opening a hole in this ceramic double
sink. Do I need to score the glazed top surface? and how do I do that to
prevent the glazed surface from splintering and or cracking. I would be
grateful if you could pass on any tips or advice that may be relevant.

I guess they do it that way in case you want to have the tap situated
outside the sink itself .

When you say
"I need to open a hole in the centre" where exactly is the tap being
fitted . This is the bit that confuses me .

"The area that the tap is located is pre prepared underneath"
Underneath what?
